Basically i am packing bubs bag and ive realised i mainly have long full jumpsuits, bubs due at the start of october, are these going to be too hot? Do i need to go and get ones with short sleves and no legs?

No I think you'll be fine. I only have them also. Was just at the hospital doing an antenatal class yesterday and the midwife said the hospital is air-conditioned and temp controlled. She did say to bring some singlets also. You would only need to worry about when you get home and the temperature of your home.

I'm the exact opposite -- I have mostly short sleeves/long sleeves with no legs. I have been buying more leggings now though, and I've been buying bigger sizes in case I get a bit of newborn sizes at the baby shower.

What I think I'm going to do is to set up our baby monitor to monitor the temperature -- my house is a little bit cooler than outside most of the time so if I can see what it's like on some of the hot days coming (max 26 forecast here once or twice this week) I hope I'll be able to get a gauge on what the room temp may be. In theory, haha.

Oh yeah I forgot the baby monitor gives the temperature. Also I got one of those room temperature eggs so we can visually see what the temp is doing. Also we're getting aircon put in bub's room now the walls are finally finished, so I think onesies for inside the house will be fine.

I had a sept and a nov baby already. (So october just fits right in there) used long sleeves for both at the hospital. It gets cold in there. At one point my Nov bub had a singlet, short sleeve onesie, long sleeve onsie, socks and a beanie. Was wrapped an under a heater. And still cold. They thought he had an infection - nope just a cold hospital.
